Thomas Doyle: If the creek don’t rise

Description

Thomas Doyle’s exquisite miniature sculptures in If the creek don’t rise shows a landscape in turmoil and humans coping or not coping to a perilous situation. The house and its inhabitants, modeled to 1.87” scale, are threatened by a flooding “river” flowing through the museum galleries. Then, in five portals, viewers glimpse the life cycle of a suburban house: Empty Lot; Under Construction; Perfect House; House on Fire; and finally, House for Sale.
